Application September 4, 1952, Serial No. 307,829 1 claim. (ci. zza-ss) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for supporting garments, and has as its prin-- cipal object the provision of a vdevice including a bodily shiftable suspension member, a garment holding member connected to saidv suspension member by a flexible connecting member, and abracket supported bar on which a complete hanger may be shifted to various positions.

This device is particularly useful in classroom wardrobes and check rooms used in connection with public buildings, in which the garments of pupils and patrons are checked.

i taken on line II-II of Fig. 1.

v Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view similar to Fig. 2, showing the hanger parts in the raised position in solid lines and in thelowered position in dotted lines.

Fig. 4 is a front elevational view of the parts shown in Fig. 3, with one hanger shown in the raised position and another hanger shown in the lowered position.

Fig. S is a detached elevational View of the garment holder.' p

Fig. 6 is an edge elevational view of the garment holder shown in Fig. 5..

Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein like reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and thenumeral 10 designates a wardrobe such as used in a schoolroom, having the usual swinging door 12 mounted on oor brackets 14, which are adapted to be opened to give access to theinside of the wardrobe, wherein is mounted a horizontal bar 15 ice,

Patented Apr. 17, 1956 prevents the removal of suspension member 22 from saidV bar. A garment holder 28 has a body portion 30 to receive a garment 31, an elongated neck 32, and a ring head 34 for detachable engagement with hook 24.

Garment holder 28 is permanently secured to the sus-- pensionr member 22 by means of a pliable connecting member 36 shown as a beaded chain and provided at its opposite ends with eye rings 38 and 40 respectively. A ring 42 is mounted about neck 32 for free movement therealong between body 30 and ring head 34. ItV will be noted that ring 42 is relatively small in diameter and cannot be moved from said neck. To prevent accidental separation of the abutting end portions of all the ring members they may be welded together after being properly positioned relative to the other parts ofthe device.

Eye ring-38 is fitted about eye 26 of suspension member 22 and eye ring 40 is fitted about the body ,of ring 42.

As clearly shown in Fig. 3, when the hanger parts are in the raised position as shown in solid lines the ring 42 will rest on thevbody portion 30 of the garment holder 28,

. and when in the lowered position as shown in dotted lines ring 42 will be resting against head member 34, thus permitting the garment holder 28 to be positioned a greater distance from the supporting member 22 because of the movement of the neck portion 32 of the garment holder chain than would otherwise be required, and furthermore this garment carrying body portion 30 is more accessible for placing the garment thereon or removing it therefrom when the parts are in this stretchedV out position. A shelf member 46 is positioned on brackets 16. An identication tag 48 is threaded onto each of the eyes 26 as shown.

What vI claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent'is:

A garment hanger comprising a suspension member having an eye at its upper end and a hook at its lower portion, said eye being adapted to be threaded on a fixed bar for movement therealong, a garment holder having a head ring for detachable engagement with said hook and a. holder body connected with said head ring by an elonmounted in end brackets 16. This bar is positioned at a suitable height to carry garment holders 18 which may be adjusted therealong.
